In the past 2 decades, health care has witnessed technological and pharmacological advancements leading to innovations in diabetes management. Despite these advances, published guidelines, and treatment algorithms, most people with diabetes remain above glycemic targets. Thus, the authors designed a novel care model aimed at improving several causative factors, including therapeutic inertia, limited access to endocrinology and cardiovascular specialists, time constraints, and complexity in incorporating clinical practice guidelines. The model involves collaboration between the diabetes specialty team and primary care providers (PCPs). The intervention reviewed uncontrolled diabetes data and the patient's electronic medical record (EMR) and sent personalized, evidence-based recommendations to the provider using the task function in the EMR. Other services (eg, diabetes education) were utilized to optimize patient care to achieve optimal glycemic targets and address cardiometabolic risk. The overall mean hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) decreased pre-post intervention by almost 1%, and 52.1% (347 of 666) of the cohort had ≥−0.5% change in HbA1c post-intervention. All pathways exhibited a decrease in HbA1c. Team-based approaches to managing diabetes patient care were the most effective. The interventions effectively utilized the resources across the health system without placing additional load or burden on primary care or diabetes specialty care teams. In the future, the authors hope to address the limitations of the current gap caused by increasing diabetes numbers, decreasing availability of PCPs and endocrinologists, and fee-for-service models using the innovative specialty consultant–primary care connection and knowledge exchange offered by this novel model, which can only be sustained with payer's support.
